I guess have to find out what the specs are and if this will bolt in to ls1 engine.

Two decent stock cams are these..
02-03 ZO6 cam: 204/218 .551/.547 -117.5 LSA
Lingenfelter GT2-3 207/220 .571/.578 –118.5CL

05-07 ZO6 cam 210/230 .561/.557 –120.5 LSA
Lingenfelter GT7 208/230 .554/.546 –121CL


I have the lengenfelter gt7 but its very close to stock cam. With 1.8 rockers to up my lift .I would imagine you can pick up either of those cams pretty cheap. The gt2-3 was used a lot in the past by lingenfelter and pretty sure the gt7 is used a lot now on theiir turbo builds.

ls9 uses a center bolt design. your ls1 has a 3 bolt. but it should work in your car. you will just need a different itming gear set

and an LS2 timing cover. I'm not aware of a 1 bolt timing chain for the 1x cam sensor.

It would be much cheaper to get a LS1 cam custom ground to the LS9 specs than to use an actual LS9 cam. Too many things need to be replaced.
